I have trouble achieving the following thing in STATA:
I have 4 linear regressions of the same type, and they differ in one
variable. Now I would like to test if the coefficients of this one
variable
in the different estimations differ significantly (F-, or Wald-Test).
I figured out how to do it in OLS:
I typed "estimates store est_#" after every equation, afterwards I
estimated
"suest est_*" (seemingly unrelated estimations), and afterwards I could
test
"test var1=var2=var3=var4"
But now I would like to do the same thing after estimating IV (ivreg2).
it
shouldn't be so hard but I cannot figure out how to store the estimation
results properly so that STATA can compare the coefficients over the 4
equations
There is a bug in suest. Official Stata's ivreg (and our ivreg2) store
a score variable, on request, as e(pscorevar). suest will not look
there for it, demanding that it be named in e(scorevar). So the trick
is...
ivreg2 ..., pscore(one)
est store one
est change one, scorevars(one)
ivreg2 ..., pscore(two)
est store two
est change two, scorevars(two)
suest one two
